May we remember our very smallness and draw near to you,
giver of life and breath,
you who stills and grants patience that we may listen,
see

Creator of sky and meadow, human soul and body,
might you give eyes to behold grace and
the value of life through yours

Might you give fingers to count gifts
and hearts that would beat with your drum

Might you help us remember
our own weakness and need,
Might you help us remember
the grace of our full wells to
pour salve from the bucket

And God may we love the ones most difficult for us to love,
help us

Make comfort bringers,
story listeners,
soul lovers of us by the miracle
that is
You

Amen.
